Hyunjun Yang, born on 25 May 2002 (age 24), is a South Korean right winger who wears number 13 for Celtic. His senior career began at Gangwon FC, where his best league return came in 2022 with eight goals in 36 appearances.
Celtic brought him to Glasgow from Gangwon in July 2023 for around £2m. Since then, Celtic has become the main body of his career rather than a passing stop: he has made 82 league appearances and scored 15 league goals across four seasons.
His time at Celtic has already brought two Premiership titles, a League Cup and a Scottish Cup, with one further Scottish Cup runners-up finish. That is a decent haul for a player still developing his place in the side, and it gives his Celtic years a substance beyond the usual talk about potential.
In 2026-27, Yang has made four league appearances and scored one league goal, along with four Scottish Cup appearances and two in Champions League qualifiers. Across all competitions for Celtic this season, he has 10 appearances and one goal. He has also been involved with South Korea, making one World Cup appearance and three in Asian qualifying.
His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. For now, his career is still being written at Celtic: a winger with medals already won, a meaningful number of games behind him, and room still to sharpen what comes next.
